UNIFIED DATA ACCESS AND QUERYING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076768 titled 'UNIFIED DATA ACCESS AND QUERYING
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for generating intelligent data reports based on different types of data sources, using metadata to support querying and data manipulation operations not natively supported by the data sources.
- **Key Features and Innovation:**
- Generation of intelligent data reports from various data sources - Utilization of metadata for querying support - Handling of data manipulation operations not supported by data sources - Splitting and transformation of queries for multiple data sources
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in industries such as finance, healthcare, marketing, and research where intelligent data reports are crucial for decision-making processes.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenges of generating reports from diverse data sources, handling data manipulation operations not supported by the sources, and streamlining the querying process.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in generating intelligent data reports - Enhanced data manipulation capabilities - Streamlined querying process for multiple data sources
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in business intelligence software, data analytics platforms, and data visualization tools to provide comprehensive and insightful reports for businesses and organizations.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to data reporting systems, metadata utilization in querying, and data manipulation operations in database systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in data reporting systems, metadata management, and data manipulation techniques to enhance the capabilities of the described technology.
Questions about the Technology: 1. What are the potential limitations of using metadata for querying in data reporting systems? 2. How does the system ensure data security and privacy when handling data from multiple sources?
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for generating intelligent data reports based on data of different data source type(s). Metadata is obtained from data sources to support querying. A request is received by the compound database and from a query panel to generate a report associated with at least one data source. The request includes one or more data manipulation operations, wherein at least one of the data manipulation operations is not natively supported by a data source of the at least one data source. A query is generated based on the request. The query is split based on a number of data sources associated with the request to generate the report. The query is transformed into at least one sub-queries corresponding to each of the at least one data source and a report is generated based on their execution.
